President Obama, Israel, Africans & Racism
President Obama, Israel, Africans & Racism
President Obama has been so busy that it is hard to keep up with him. The news reports that his administration was feverishly discussing whether the United States should have a presence at the United Nations Racism Conference being held in Geneva, Australia. They regrettably decided not to attend because they felt that Israel’s settling of Palestine was being unfairly singled out. It is very interesting that President Obama’s administration chose to look out for the interests of Israel over the objections of the Congressional Black Caucus. This is a tough question but it must be asked. I want to ponder how does President Obama work his way through this diplomatic mine field? Let me take a stab.
It appears that President Obama does not want to acknowledge most of the world’s opinion that the Jewish acquisition in 1948 of land occupied by Palestinians was based on racism. When I use the term racism I am defining it as one human group discriminating against another human group because the one group feels superior by birth over the other group. In other words, for example, the Jews feel they were born superior to the Palestinians so anything that they would do to the Palestinians is alright because of Jewish superiority. This is just an example. I am not saying that racism was the underlying foundation on why Jews decided to forcibly occupy land that Palestinians had traditionally occupied. When Jewish leadership was discussing places to establish a homeland they contemplated Uganda as well as Palestine. They settled on Palestine because the Bible could be used as a tool to justify their aggression. They co-opted the story of Genesis and Exodus as though they were the people of Moses and Palestine was the land promised to them by God as they were freed from bondage in Egypt. Uganda just did not lend itself to this story line. So we see that the issue was not race, but which piece of land could best be used to sway public opinion to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland. Therefore, the question for me is not the term used to identify the wrong. Wrong by any name is a wrong. Let’s muddy the water just a bit.
When Hitler was burning these same Jews in furnaces if President Obama was then President would he boycott a United Nations Conference on racism because the conference singled out Germany? In fact, would the Jewish people whose family and friends were being burned in the furnaces care what name was being given to the wrong that Hitler was bestowing upon their people? I would think not!! I would think the position would be I don’t care what you call the wrong, just do what you can to stop the wrong. Now in my understanding of history, Hitler clearly believed that Germans were superior to Jews so anything thing was fair to be done to the Jews because of German superiority. I am sure that Jewish control of the German economy greatly figured in on Hitler’s decision to try and annihilate the German Jewish population, but that was not the justification that he used to wage his domestic war. Hitler used white German supremacy as the tool to get the German populace to support his genocide. Again I ask, if this were taking place today would President Obama or present day Israel want the world to boycott the United Nations on Racism because Germany was singled out? OK, let’s widen the discussion.
Truly when Britons, or the Dutch, followed Cecil Rhodes to forcibly settle present day Zimbabwe it was a white supremacy philosophy that was used to justify the oppression of the Zimbabwean people. Ian Smith used the same white supremacy philosophy to forcibly occupy present day South Africa. At that time of this history I do not think that either Zimbabwean or South African people would have demanded that their oppressors’ philosophy be called racism before they would accept help from the outside world. Who cares about language if you allow the wrong to continue? The key is not the use of language. The key is stopping the oppressive behavior!! Even right now an argument can be made that the sanctions against Zimbabwe that are supported by the United States government and Britain is an act of racism. I am sure that both governments would vehemently contest being called racist. OK, let’s grant that wish. Let’s grant that the policies of Israel toward the Palestinians, and the U.S. and British policies toward Zimbabwe are not racist. Let’s grant that. However, I would now use the language is these policies fair? Are these policies right? Is it right for Israel, or any country to take somebody’s land because they can? Was it right for white people to take the very land that is now America from the indigenous people who occupied the land? Was it right for whites to take the land of South Africa and Zimbabwe because they could? Forget the term racism. Let’s deal with right and wrong. Is stealing anything from a person right? Whether the theft is land, oil, diamonds, copper, gold, or something as small as a tootsie roll when it is taken without permission then the act is wrong. If anything is/was taken without consent then the acquisition was not right. This is the issue that the United Nations Conference on Racism is trying to deal with. America and all other nations of the world should be there. The God of justice demands our presence. President Obama, your calling is to be the change agent. Don’t let politics taint your calling. The world has been waiting for you. You must engage all players in the world about all the major issues. President Obama, I humbly say, on this one my brother, I believe you should have listened to the Congressional Black Caucus. America’s attendance would have helped the world to decrease the hate and increase the love. Thank you for listening to AjabuSpeaks.
YOU+ME=US

Ajabu,
No offense, but Marshall is consistently intentionally inflammatory and rude. He has called me unintelligent, psychologically impaired, ignorant, racist, part of the KKK, in denial, a basket-case. He says I have no common sense. And that's just on this page.
Because there are people out here who are carrying more than their fair share who show you that your world view of Christian Conservative white America MIGHT be a bit of a caricature...well, you don't seem able to process that. It really goes against your worldview. Your lead pastor is one of our cities greatest men. My counsel to YOU is to seek HIS counsel.
P.S. I almost NEVER refer to party politics. Marshall is the big party guy. I have already told you that I am not a Bush fan. I will just never be a modern liberal. The liberal wing of the Democrat party has become the extreme environmentalists, the Marxists, the activist homosexuals, the rabid abortionists, illegals and lucky sperm elites. No thanks.
So you and Wes and Dr. Marshall can just banter amongst yourselves about the infamous white bogeymen fatcats.... Guys like George Soros, and all of the other white liberal hedgefund managers you seem to love so much. I'll go help LuWanna out. She's doing the real work of the people.
LuWanna, my daughter and I are really looking forward to meeting you. She has a final on Thursday, so she can't come this week. But after Friday, she's out of school for the summer. You'll love her.
Dawn,
Conservative Christian is code for republican.Liberal is code for democrats. I hope you do help Luwanna. Her work with the homeless is worthy of you and your families participation. Still, it is obvious, party politics are killing America.Your position, along with Marshall's, is aiding the funeral. God bless. I think it might be good for you to seek the counsel of my senior Pastor. I think he could help you see a better way. Again, I pray that God blesses you and yours and understand that God is love which is neither democrat nor republican, but includes both. Decrease the hate, increase the love, it is what the example of Jesus showed. I would counsel you to ask yourself, are you treating people like you want to be treated? You do not have to share your answer with us, unless you desire. Have that conversation between you and God.
Ajabu,
Yes, I am very comfortable with how I treat people. And if you choose to read "code" in the fact that I am a person who uses the Bible as my guide for a moral code, then that is your issue. It is not mine.
I am pro life, which means that I am against abortion and the use of embryonic stem cells. I am a tither, so excessive taxation really does cause me pain. I have a business/finance undergrad, so I do pay attention to the good stewardship of money. Because I manage money well, I can do much more for others. Since I don't place value in material things, I don't squander resources. Since Christ tells me to serve and to care for my brothers, I spend a lot of time in service. In truth, I have a terrible Martha complex. What I really need to do is rest more. But yes. I treat people very well. If you said to anyone who knows me that I need to treat others better, they would laugh at you and say you don't know me. You don't. You see me as a "code".
Your problem, sir, is that you BELIEVE what Marshall says, so that it does not trouble you that he is so rude. You do not KNOW any conservative Christians, so you are comfortable in calling it "code" for Republican. The truth is, you need to get out into some more conservative congregations and you will see that these are some of the most loving and accepting people you will ever meet. And they are doing the heavy lifting in the community while you continue the hate.
You have NO divergence of opinion on this blog, Ajabu, for a reason. Your heart is not open to it.
I'm moving on to a place where my viewpoint is heard and dialogue is genuine.
As I have said, Ajabu, you are the person who needs to talk to your pastor. I know several people in your church. I know that there are people with open hearts there. You still face a struggle. I'll pray for you.
I want to give you an idea of the people who you are in bed with, so to speak, Ajabu, as a modern liberal.
Liberal in the sense of open-minded and generous is a very good thing. I am a liberal in that sense. But here is an example of the modern-day liberal.
Go to Perezhilton.com.
Take a look at how the left is attacking the young woman from California (Carrie Prejean) who had the "gall" to say in a pageant that SHE believed that marriage should be between a man an a woman. As a young woman, she made a mistake in allowing herself to be used for some pictures that she probably should have not allowed. Beautiful women get used in this way all the time. There is a whole industry that surrounds it. So the left is taking the opportunity to destroy this young woman. It's sickening. Look at the comments and ask yourself. Why do these people hate so much? And ask yourself again why you align yourself on the left. This is an increasingly loud and hostile group and they are extremely hostile to the Christian faith. I see nothing equivalent on the Christian right. In MY church, we may hate the sin, but we love the sinner. A person who sins is not cast off, but is scooped up. The hard left has lost its way.
Dawn,
You did not answer the question. Would you like to be treated like you treat people on this website? I have gone back a little ways and extracted some of your comments on the present topic below. One of them even has race implications. What!!! Not you!! Yes you. Dawn you come off as being arrogant and a know it all. Stop it. This is not, in my humble opinion, an good example of Jesus. And your position is definitely your interpretation of a republican position that you use conservative to describe. You seem to like President Obama, but your positions are clearly Republican, which has a conservative bent. That is OK, but it is not the only position. You don't have a lock on truth. It seems like you want to hide that you are a republican. It's OK. However, your covert partisan politics are killing America. You even quote scripture as an example of Christian behavior while you write the following. I pray for you, I truly pray for you:
I think you all have some pretty serious issues and I think you all need to spend a lot more time on your knees, is what I think.
I don't think that Obama is lost in these same weeds. His pacifism makes me nervous because he is dealing with people like you, Ajabu
I sometimes don't know what Bible you read.
Sometimes I marvel at how little you have learned.
You have not changed your heart, brother.
That makes you as evil as those you hope to punish.
Apparently you never read the New Covenant part of the Bible. (Wes)
Interesting Wes, that you see me as judgemental. I am pointing out to you that you claim Jesus as your savior and Jesus would never have encouraged you to hate Jews or Europeans.
No one can have as much animosity in their heart as you possess and have a relationship with the lamb. You hate Europeans, you hate Israel. It's pretty obvious. (Wes)
To say that the Jews murdered Jesus is about as intelligent as saying that Christians are murderous because the Crusades were conducted by people who called themselves Christians (Wes)
I know that your Bible knowledge is heavily skewed by your hatred (Wes)
Matthew 5 43:47
Ye have heard that it hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you
I suggest that you need to start attending a different kind of church. One that is less political and significantly more scriptural. That's really obvious, too (Wes)
Dawn: Do you believe your writings are a good example of Matthew 5:43-47? Let's go on. Dawn, this is you writing. Is this the way you would like to be treated?
John, the truth is, you have spent way too much of your life spreading hate.
You are a very unhappy and unforgiving person. Your writings scream it. Your newspaper screams it. Your blogging screams it (Marshall)
Then you quoted: Titus 3 2:6
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.
Are you a good example of the scripture you quote? Dawn, Would you want to be treated like you are treating people? You go on. All these are your responses to people.
Perhaps it is time that you listened more and pontificated less. (Marshall)
You continuously stoop to insults. Intellectually limited. Right. This from the "doctor" who never passed his Boards. (Marshall)
John, you need to drop that gut and get on a treadmill.
Of course since your idiotic off the cuff comment (Marshall)
I will tell you this, John. As long as there are leaders in Black leadership who teach their kids that the subject matter does not matter and that the tests are unfair, your kids will continue to fail at them.
The above statement has race implications!! Dawn, would you want to be treated like your writings are treating people? Be honest.
Ajabu,
I don't have time to go back to all of the attacks that have been made on me personally. But that was a grossly unfair statement. You know that to be so if you have a SHRED of honesty in your heart. I don't claim to be a minister. You do.
That means YOU, sir, are held to the higher standard.
But you seem to continue to hold a hostile worldview that makes you unable to even see how biased you are.
Although I have been the least hostile person against any group of people, I am the ONLY one you desire to hold to any level of accountability.
Interesting.
I have been reading Tom Benjamin's blog today. Interesting contrast to yours.
By the way. The only three Republicans I have supported in the last many elections were Marvin Scott, Mike Pence and Mitch Daniels. So much for your hypothesis about my politics.
Oh, and about your calling me a racist, Ajabu. It is true that I believe if I tell my kids repeatedly that the ISTEP is a test designed to make them fail, they are considerably more likely to fail.
You might want to look at Tom Benjamins' discussions about "The Secret". Perhaps you missed those.
Dawn,
You act like you can't see yourself. You are mad with your own words. Those are your words. Would you want to have your words said to you? Can, or will you answer that question?
Now you are mad at me because I have shown you to yourself through your own words. Bishop Benjamin did say those words. Those are yours. I am trying to help you see yourself, but you refuse. You want to talk about the splinter in others' eye while ignoring the log that is in yours. Quit it.
You can lie to us but if you continue to lie to yourself it will have drastic psychological effect on your mental health. Dawn, quit it.
You want to talk about Marshall's words, but you want to ignore yours. You are not being fair. It is almost like you have appointed yourself as God. Meaning anything you say about anybody is OK. What I am getting ready to say I say with all sincerity with no harm intended. You have what we say in the Black community is a typical white attitude. You know everything. You don't have to be concerned about whose feelings you hurt with what you say. Quit it. This has become to be known in our neighborhood as a typical white attitude.
Unfortunately, this has been typical of the republican party. They know everything. They know how to tell President Obama to run the country. When they were in power to run the country look at what their policies got us. That why people voted for a change. And doesn't look like the people are ready to change back to what was changed from. The republicans, who call themselves conservatives are on their death bed. The only thing that will revive them is a change in attitude. Sticking with Rush Limbaugh will send to a worse demise than sufferred this last election.
This past election has shown many in that party that they must change their ways. Some, normally the older republicans, say they want to keep the party pure. Pure appearing to me, and quite a few others, to be pure old white males. Die hard democrats like Marshall are loving it. He knows, as the other die hard democrats know, that the republicans will never get back into power if they keep the party so-called pure.
Dawn, I for one, and it appears, many others are not going to let you get away at looking at others without looking at yourself. We can see self as well as you. Your camouflage is truly transparent. Mitch is a good guy. Pence is a good guy.I voted for Mitch. Can't vote for Pence. Marvin Scott is an opportunist. Would vote for him. What? Ajabu will vote for a white man and not a Black man. You got it. To me, he comes off very fabricated.
Even with the support I showed for Mitch in the last election I would counsel him to call the special session as soon as possible. Give the legislature a budget, which he previously has done, so they can understand his thinking. To hold the state government hostage is not good politics.
That being said, my sister, do not refuse to look at yourself, We see you and so does God. You will have to account. Not to us, but to God. God knows you well, and we are getting to know you. Be careful. You will have to account. God bless.
Ajabu,
I look at myself every day. Every day. I pray and study.
I KNOW my problems. I work on them. Every Day.
But you and the rest of the people on this board THINK you know people who you do not know. At all. And hence, the giant SEQUOIA in your eye.
One of the greatest management trainers of all time is
Sorry. I hit enter before I was finished.
The management trainer I was referring to was Stephen Covey who says, "Seek First to Understand and Then be Understood."
I would suggest that this Board is a bunch people who want to harp about what they believe. You say that Marvin Scott is fabricated. That is grossly unfair. He believes what he believes. You should try to see why he believes what he believes before you shut him down.
But you see your worldview from your worldview.
I GET your worldview, Ajabu...or at least what you project of it on a Board, which is limited. You don't GET mine. At All.
Nobody is as cookie cutter as you make them out to be. Nobody is fully the oppressor or the oppressed.
You are an oppressor on this Board because you are constrained by a very narrow worldview and you love to preach AT people rather than try to know them.
I watched a show on TV last night about women being sold into slavery in the former soviet union. Women are still as oppressed as any minority in the world. As a victim of sexual violence I understand this. With a daughter who is fighting a life threatening illness that came about from having been raped, I continue to live it. But I don't hold every man responsible for that evil. SOME men are responsible. But my oppressor has repented and is living a wonderful Christian life today. It happens to be a family member. His turnaround is enough for me. I don't need retribution. I RECEIVED forgiveness. It was a GIFT from God.
The shocking aspect of the show last night was that the person on the show SELLING these young women was a WOMAN.
You cannot live in stereotypes. YOU cannot live in stereotypes.
There is no typical white attitude. There is only your closed minded opinion that there is a typical white attitude.
There is also no typical black attitude. You have one worldview. Marvin Scott has another.
You will never be an effective pastor to anyone, Ajabu until you stop seeing the typical and start seeing the individual.
Your story is compelling. Your heart, however, is not yet fully open.
I'm praying for you. You have the potential to make a difference. A REAL difference.
But you are NOT making it.
Talk to Pastor Benjamin about this conversation. I would be happy to come in and talk to you with him. I really believe that God has something important for you to do. I'm trying to help you see that.
Dawn,
In psychology that is a concept called the three selves. There is the self that you want people to see you as. There is the self that you want to see yourself as, and there is the difference between the two which is who you really are. It appears that you want people to see you as you see yourself without trying to see how people see you. Just because people see you in the way that they see you does not make you be what they see. However, in their mind that is who you are. The effective communicator is able to communicate in a way that people see them as they want to be seen. In my humble opinion, you have some work to do to line up who you want to be seen as with who other people see you as. Thanks for trying to help me, in your opinion, see the value that I can have through God's impact on the world. This causes for daily development, which I do not take lightly. You are definitely good training for the mission. God bless.
Ajabu,
I'm glad that you have read that theory. Ponder it more deeply. You want this blog to reach out to others. Other than me, you have had nobody of goodwill representing an alternative viewpoint willing to dialog with you. Why not?
I gave you my hand.
I'm sorry you did not accept it.
Perhaps you were concerned that you might be exposed...not to others, but to yourself.
I'll keep praying for you. You have the potential to be a powerful force. It apparently will take more time. I hope it will not take more pain. Sometimes God works in that way.
Dawn,
You still refuse to look at how people see you. In your quiet time have the nerve to ask you self why are you seen as you are seen. It will help you be a more effective communicator.
Another point. I am charged with organizing a forum on domestic violence. I would like for you to be a panelist. Would you be comfortable with that?
Ajabu,
You see me through your lense. Many people see me quite differently. Ask Rhonda Richards about me. She knows me well.
I really would NOT like to be a part of that panel, but thanks for asking. Nobody but my abuser ever knew about the abuse, and my family does not need that. I have a beautiful family and I even love my abuser. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing....particularly when you just let God do his thing. My abuser is a wonderful Christian man with a wonderful Christian family. God did the work.
I do think the issues of domestic violence need to be addressed. But just as in issues of race, it is more complicated than many people make it.
There is sin in the world. We need to bring people to Jesus when they are broken....the sinner and the victim...be there for them when they are broken. Love them when they are broken and Jesus does the rest. In the end, it isn't the sin that matters. The sin can be washed away.
I am not a pollyanna-ish person, either. I am not the shrinking violet type. I am a strong mother and an educated professional woman. I just know that people are human. Many people do not believe in, or understand who Jesus Christ is. And until you really understand who he is, there is no motivation not to sin when you live in and of this world.
So while I am glad that there are people who serve well on panels and raising awareness, I am better suited to being the person behind the scenes to show people how they can use their pain to grow. People see my strength and ability to rise above the pain and it shows them that they can rise above, too. I have privately worked with abused women and have helped them see how abuse does not have to break them....unless they choose to live in the memory of the abuse for their lives. Otherwise, they can rise above it. Dr. Laura wrote a book once, "Bad Childhood, Good life" which I really enjoyed. Staying mired in the bad moments of life can really trap a lot of people...and lead them to turn to things like alcohol and drugs.
My daughter, for example is really driven to work on the issue of pornography. The whole industry of pornography is so degrading to both men and to women. It is one of the things that democrats have protected that has troubled me. My daughter wants to go to law school and this is one of the definitions of "speech" she wants narrowed. Pornography hurts people. Men and women. It weakens the relationships with real people. My daughter was abused. By a young man who was mired in pornography who she was dating. He used a date rape drug on her. I'm proud of her. She wants to use her experience to work on the issue. God gave her the gifts of intellect and a firey little spirit. I can see her toe to toe with people who support pornography and leave them spinning. She'll be great. My way is just different from her way.
I appreciate that you will be organizing this panel, Ajabu. I think awareness is a good thing, and I think is will be good if you focus on reaching out through Christ to the abuser and the abused. I'm just not the person to serve on it.
Personally, I think that the protection of pornography as "speech" and the abuse of alcohol are two of the biggest instigators of molestation. I struggle with the wing of the Democrat party that loves to protect pornography. Both parties like to protect alcohol. People love their sin.
I am looking forward to working at Horizon House with some of te ladies who are there who might be "stuck" emotionally in pain. That is where I will be a better servant.
Rev Ajabu
I have had enough of the twisted logic and the confused whining of Dawn who is a pseudo intellectual and a phony Christian.
As I have said, I truly equate the Conservative Republicans to the KKK. They are extremely anti Black, Hispanic, Jews, Asians, American Indians and any people of color.
Dawn is half American Indian and she does not realize how much her phony smiling Conservatives despise her. Look how they treat our president who is of mixed parentage.
I can only thank God that the majority of Americans are waking up and are rejecting the hatred of the so called Conservatives. The record is very clear that they do not want to melt into this pot of Louisianna Gumbo called America.
Conservatives want it all to themselves. Fortunately, they are a dying breed and the rest of America has left them behind. I am so very pleased to have Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton running this country and in many ways the whole planet.
The difference between the Conservative Republicans like George W Bush and the Liberal Democrats like Clinton and Obama is so simple: in a word,INTELLIGENCE. You can't expect much from an idiot and that is what we got the last 8 years. Compare that with the brilliance of the Bill and Hillary team when they were in the White House.
Just watch Barack and Michelle make this country great and highly respected again. What is so amazing is to have Dick Cheney run the country for Bush when Cheney barely made it out of college because he was so dumb. It is like the movie Dumb and Dumber. And because you Conservatives elected those dummies twice,we are in the toilet as a nation. Thanks Dawn!! You should be ashame of yourself hanging on to the illusionary Conservatives who are vanishing right before our eyes. I think God has seen enough of His children suffering under the oppression of people who call themselves Christians and Conservatives. Dawn, come out from among them before it is too late.
I know you will resort to your only argument that you have left and that is to call me a hater and my response will be, you are right. I hate the oppression that ordinary Americans suffer daily by the hands of the Conservatives.
You do know Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, O'Reilly, John Boehner, Eric Cantor,Newt Gingrich, Haley Barber,Ted Haggard,Sen Jeff Sessions, Ann Coulter are all Conservatives. You have mentioned a few Conservatives that you admire but this list of haters dominate the Republican Conservative crowd.
I thank Almighty God for lifting up the Liberal Democrats this past November. Long live the Liberal Democrats of the United States of America.
John
Ajabu,
And you see no difference between my heart and John's heart. Interesting.
Re-read the words of the TRUE intellectual and loving Christian, John Marshall. He ought to make all loving Christian liberals so very proud. Ajabu, why do you not hold this man accountable? The only reason I can imagine that you do not is because you AGREE with him.
John, please stop throwing random conservatives out there holding them up as the conservative standard.
I could equivalently hold up such lovely individuals who define themselves as liberals.
The difference between your perspective and mine is that I will not lump all liberals together. I won't equate Bobby Kennedy with Ted Kennedy. I won't equate Al Franken or Michael Moore with Steven Spielberg. I won't equate Dr. Martin Luther King with Al Sharpton. I won't equate Nancy Pelosi with either Bill or Hillary Clinton. Lee Hamilton and Joe Lieberman and Evan Bayh are good men.
Until we are able to separate the wheat from the chaff, we are going to have very poor government, be it Republican or Democrat.
Although nobody is perfect, and we have all stumbled, some people....YOU, for example are just not of good will and will not ever be an agent for positive change. You just fan hatred.
I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry for you. You must be a very unhappy man.
I'm curious. Do you even CLAIM to be a Christian? You really don't sound as though you do.
And let's not forget that great humanitarian, John Edwards.
This could go on all day.
Dawn
The only separation that I have among Democrats is the Southern Confederate Democrats who were once called Dixiecrats and most of them became Conservative Republicans. The Southern Democrats who remained in the party are Conservative Republicans for all practical purposes. I admire and adore the Liberal Democrats of this country.
Why do you keep saying that I am unhappy when my Democrats won in November. We have Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Rahm Emanuel, Pelosi, Rangel, Conyers,Howard Dean and so many great liberal Democrats. I couldn't be happier as we watch Barack turn this economy around right before our eyes. Why should I not be happy when my liberal Democrats run the show.
If anyone is sad and unhappy, it must be you Dawn. You are stuck with Dick Cheney still showing how dumb he is by attacking our new president.All of your Conservatives have relegated Rush Limbaugh to the esteem position as the leader of the Conservatives. That could be why your Conservative numbers are dropping very fast. The country is not listening to the Conservatives at this time. How unfortunate and sad for you Dawn. We had to endure the idiocy of Bush and the Conservatives the past 8 years but we waited on God to deliver us and He did.
A very happy Liberal Democrat,
john
Partisan politics are killing America.
Well, John,
I'm glad that you are happy. One reading your angry posts might assume otherwise.
Have a good life.
I am going to leave and continue mine more productively. You all can pursue your social "justice" here together.
